Abstract

Ever since the Lisbon European Council declared in March 2000 that Europe was to become the “most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world”, European Union (EU) institutions have actively promoted various strategies to achieve this ambitious goal. For example, as early as 2003, the European Commission strongly advocated for a “Europe of Knowledge” (2003), and in the following years has regularly released Communications (2005, 2006, 2011) explicitly nudging member states to ‘modernise’ their higher education
systems and universities.
